Today’s show celebrates the birthday of Moses (vegetarian). We are pleased to present selections from Chapters 2 and 3 from the Book of Exodus, the second book of the Torah, which details Moses’s birth, to His fleeing Egypt to Midian, and then meeting GOD in the form of a burning bush. The Second Book of Moses, called Exodus Chapter 2 “And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. And the woman conceived, and bore a son; and when she saw Him that He was a goodly child, she hid Him three months. And when she could no longer hide Him, she took for Him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch; and she put the child therein, and laid it in the flags by the river’s brink. And His sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to Him. And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe in the river; and her maidens walked along by the river-side; and she saw the ark among the flags, and sent her handmaid to fetch it. And she opened it, and saw it, even the child; and behold, a boy that wept. And she had compassion on Him, and said: ‘This is one of the Hebrews’ children.’ Then said His sister to Pharaoh’s daughter: ‘Shall I go and call thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?’ And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her: ‘Go.’ And the maiden went and called the child’s mother. And Pharaoh’s daughter said unto her: ‘Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages.’ And the woman took the child and nursed it. And the child grew, and she brought Him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and He became her son. And she called His name Moses, and said: ‘Because I drew Him out of the water.’ And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown up, that He went out unto His brethren, and looked on their burdens; and He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of His brethren. […] Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian; and He sat down by a well. Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came and drew water […]. And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them […]. And when they came to Reuel their father, He said: ‘How is it that ye are come so soon today?’ And they said: ‘An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover He drew water for us […].’ And He said unto His daughters: ‘And where is He? Why is it that ye have left the man? Call Him, that He may eat bread.’ And Moses was content to dwell with the man; and He gave Moses Zipporah His daughter. And she bore a son, and He called his name Gershom; for He said: ‘I have been a stranger in a strange land.’ And it came to pass in the course of those many days that the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto GOD by reason of the bondage. And GOD heard their groaning, and GOD remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. And GOD saw the children of Israel, and GOD took cognizance of them.” Chapter 3 “Now Moses […] came to the mountain of GOD, unto Horeb. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto Him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and He looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.”
